The last 2 minutes are just a black screen with music.. And I'm bothered by the in- and out zooming while the camera is on you. The rest is OK 😊 So, 6/10.
Not very good! You left in two takes of the same point at 7:48 and 7:57, and from 10:14 is blank plus there is no link to the video that you recommend!
I'd give them a 3 or 4. The white balance is way off, there were several times when you pointed to other videos to follow up for more information and they didn't pop up, the obvious 2 mins of black screen and two clips stated and restated the same point. As an added, you may want to separate your camera from your desk. A bit shaky.
Hi Alek, the 3 step process video you pointed to at 4:44 and another video to watch next at 10:12 were not there !! Please link them. I could search for it but I am interested. i feel you are honest and I like your content, can learn form you. Thanks!
I was a little nervous to watch this one bc of the title, but I'm glad I did. lol. This was a really great video. It helped to confirm I'm on the right track, and that putting all this effort into my Etsy store will be worth it. After studying several of the top sellers in my niche, I'm taking the volume approach while keeping the quality high. My current goal is 1,000 products by the end of December, and so far I'm at 218. Following your other vids, I've already gotten sales and a 5-star review with only 218 products. I can't wait to see it all increase when I finally hit my first 1,000. Looking forward to your next video 🤙
@@draugh1r219 I haven’t done ads yet but I do add videos to my listings. Some are done in Premiere Pro and others are done in Photoshop. Depending on product.
@Egbon Roughly about 10 per day. Although I really do my listings on a weekly basis. Typically on Saturday or Sunday. The rest of the week is all research, design, and prep work. Which takes far more time than I had anticipated. lol.
Editing mistake? At 7:50 you repeat the same sentence twice. And yes, it doesn't seem like the video ended in the right place. Sounded like you were leading up to a final punch line.
That really helped thankyou. I must admit, I am more on the creative end of the spectrum, and I really like to make the designs myself, and I am ok with the waiting part for that. I don't really like using A.I. only because, for me, it takes the "fun" out of the art and design process.
I've been watching your 100K challenge. I think you are glossing over the financial investment a bit. 20 cents a listing doesn't sound like much but listing 30 items a day is 6$ a day, 5 days a week is 30$ a week for 150 items. At what point could you level off? 1K listings? 5K listings?
As I have understood... It is a question that help to drive the video further. Taking into consideration that for Print on Demand (POD) model we use AI art. In another words POD is a creative business model. Also, "The end of AI" - this question makes sense in relation to another question, If nowadays is so easy to make AI art why might be difficult to run a business successfully enought? Therefore, because it is important to consider some questions and some steps to follow as explained by Alek. What do you think about it?
I began 6 months ago and I am at about 3500 dollars monthly. Average sale value is 50 dollars. I prefer to sell more expensive stuff. it is crazy hard work though
Hello Alek! Thank you for the video. You’ve said 3-6 months before seeing good results - could you share which results did you have during these 3-6 first months? 😊
Im in my 6 months seriusly doing POD almost 300 listings, I just start having some sales (13) and lately lots of "favorited" but no one buys anything I wish someone like you give me an opinion of my store🙏
I'm happy I started pod and I have my store. I was nervous but I still fighting to make my dreams come true! Thanks for this bro. I would also like to hear about your experience with awkward styles or Gooten. Thanks a lot!
Guys I'm so confused. Even if I would make 100k in sales a year, which is insane, and even if my profit margin was 50% which is also huge, I would only get 50k and then the taxes take 50% more, so 25k a year, 2k net profit a month... Sounds pretty lame for a 6 figure business 😂 So when people say they make 10k or 40k a month do they mean sales or net profit? O.o
Can you do a video step by step please? From the beginning? Is it only template and design you have to find ? What about t-shirt suppliers, is there any monthly fees?
Can you please make a complete videos playlist for beginners on starting POD business on ETSY describing each and every step to step process from zero to earning good amount?
Hi Alex, thank you for your videos, are inspiring. I have a question when you say $10k a month, I am wondering what is you net per sale because if your net is about $5-8 per sale you need to sell 1200-2000 a month. May you can do a video about pricing.
It sounds right up my alley and exactly what I need right now with my store opening again. Can you link the video that you’re talking about in the bio? Great video! 🎉
Hi Alex! Thank you very much about all your knowledge shared around POD! super helpful ;) studying around the topic I'm a bit worried about the tax topic.. seems all nice till you don't land on VAT, taxes etc. Being in EU I would need to pay VAT to prihtful and my customers would have to pay VAT to Etsy.. this will cut a lot my margins when I need to charge them about.. would be nice if you can share your knowledge around the topic and how you deal with orders from VAT countries
I was looking into this too. If there are POD sellers in the EU using printify and etsy and willing to share their experience that would be priceless. Meanwhile the solution might be to just sell to the US market, no VAT issues. If you google Printify VAT EU you will find an article that might clear things up for you. The article is called Winning European Union VAT Laws With Printify
You can sell in the US and you won’t have to pay for Printful VAT and also for the customers in the US VAT doesn’t apply. And you can get the taxes back at the end of financial year , at least in UK not sure how is it for other countries in Europe.
@@mirandolina134thank you for this info! I’ve been selling handmade on Etsy for ten years and only now looking at POD. I may have to concentrate on U.S market
Alek! I just found your channel. I love the content! You said you were from colorado so I looked you up to see if we had any mutual connections. You were a realtor!? I’m licensed here too. Small world! Keep up the grind man!!
Once ordered, do you print at home and then send the shirts out? Or do you show what’s next after they order from you ? I understand if their isn’t, I really appreciate your videos the ones I’ve seen so far
Do you have multiple stores, or do you include all of your products (t-shirts, mugs, ornaments etc) all in one store, even if there is no real brand/product ohesiveness?
What is the name of your Etsy store(s)? I can’t seem to find them online. Great videos by the way. Am just trying to get into POD. There is definitely a learning curve but you are a tremendous help! I’m working my way through your videos. Analyzing the factors of the best selling stores as a start is genius. Plus the chart is a must do visual for that process. Thanks!
Love the videos man! I’ve started my Etsy POD business about a month ago. Your videos have helped a ton and I hope you keep creating great content! Thanks for all your help.
Hi, how has business been like? I am looking to start but still figuring out products and a little scared. Do you think you are doing ok and can grow? Im ok with netting a couple of hundred dollars in the beginning.
Your videos are very inspiring. Thank you for the hard work you put into the videos. I would also like to start my journey with Etsy. However, I am unsure about one thing. Maybe you have a tip for me. I'm originally from Germany but currently live in the Canadian Islands. In which country should I open my Estystore to reach as many customers as possible? I think that I can reach more customers if I open my store in an English-speaking country and therefore don't have to rely on German-speaking customers, for example. Thanks for your help.
is it best to start 1 shop for 1 item like a christmas store for christmas ornaments OR a holidays store to cover ALL holiday items OR a General store for everything? 😁
At 2.12 you say you needed a 'free to start business' but that's not entirely true is it or am i mistaken? It's my understanding that Etsy charge you 0.20 per upload to the site which doesn't sound like much but if you're listing a bunch of products which lets face it you need to those charges start to add up and i think you need to pay it every 4 months Maybe you've already done a video covering this but if not i think it would be good if you covered everything price wise related to Etsy, upload costs, taxes, and also don't they randomly bill you for Ad fees?
I stopped offering shirts because it’s too time consuming. I already have a full time job. Once I’m better with designing and listing I’ll add those products back in my shop. You have great videos.
Hello Alek, this video is enlightening. Thanks for sharing this! How do you stay motivated during the initial months when results might not be immediate?
Hey Alek thank you for the content. Do you have a video why you use Etsy and not shopify, your recommendations on it and how do you createa POD store there?? Thank you
Alek, I think you should make a video on etsy banners, how to make great banners and explain if it really helps or not. If it matters if we have none even. I have not sold any proudcts yet and have 3 etsy stores so. Giving This one A try now so
I used to sell on Etsy and I got to almost $5k in less than 3 months. Etsy shut my store down due to copyright infringement and now I can’t start another store until I’m 18. I turn 18 in 2 months and I’ll be able to use my own information so Etsy won’t shut me down again, but in the meantime, do you have any advice on what I should work on instead? I’ve tried Shopify but I haven’t seen results.
Please tell me the plants are real and not fake. As for the picture frames in the back.... something with personality. The rest of your environment is magazine-y, if you want that vibe, great, if not, something of a personal touch. You had mentioned you were going to do a Q&A... what ever happened to that? I've noticed that you enjoy making mindset videos. Understandable. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. As always... ✅
Thank you for sharing your fantastic video! I have an inquiry regarding the monthly income generation. When you mentioned earning between $10 to $40,000 per month, were you referring to profit or revenue?
This is wonderful, obviously she must be a good broker with so much good news about her, please does mrs Lauren me investment services work in all crypto?
in 2020 i made like 240k(rev not profit..profit like 1/3) from affiliate marketing but I still think pod has much higher potential. especially brand building because there is an exit strats too I can just sell whatever business I create now. cant do any of that with affiliate marketing. the work I put in was like a job, do something and get paid thats it I dont own anything.
I really love your work your ideas and information and strategies can you please make a video on how to create and post designs on etsy with zero investment as i am currently a teenager having no money to invest i will be really greatfull

Yep some empty music thing on the last minutes. No next video coming.
I'd give them a 3 or 4. The white balance is way off, there were several times when you pointed to other videos to follow up for more information and they didn't pop up, the obvious 2 mins of black screen and two clips stated and restated the same point.
As an added, you may want to separate your camera from your desk. A bit shaky.
3. Definitely not as good as your other videos. Repeated edits and blank video at the end. Thumbnail didn't match the video content.

@@Gohan921 lol good job and may the winds guide you to prosperity 👏
Do you need a video editor for your ads? Or you do static images?
@@draugh1r219 I haven’t done ads yet but I do add videos to my listings. Some are done in Premiere Pro and others are done in Photoshop. Depending on product.
@Egbon Roughly about 10 per day. Although I really do my listings on a weekly basis. Typically on Saturday or Sunday. The rest of the week is all research, design, and prep work. Which takes far more time than I had anticipated. lol.
You rock with your positivity regardless of the silly editing. Thanks for doing what you do.
Editing mistake? At 7:50 you repeat the same sentence twice. And yes, it doesn't seem like the video ended in the right place. Sounded like you were leading up to a final punch line.
Thank you Alek. Sometimes we just need a little pep talk : )
